5 Common Semi Truck Engine Issues that Should Be Addressed ASAP

by Blue Gray Towing • 26 Sept, 2024

Semi trucks endure thousands of miles on the road, often hauling heavy loads across varied terrain. With this demanding workload, engine problems can inevitably arise. At Blue Gray Towing, we provide expert semi truck engine repair in the greater Hagerstown, MD area. Here’s a look at five common semi truck engine problems to look out for. Overheating One of the most frequent engine issues in semi trucks is overheating. This problem can occur due to low coolant levels, malfunctioning thermostats, or a damaged radiator. Semi truck engines are large and powerful, generating significant heat, especially during long hauls. Overheating can lead to serious engine damage if not addressed promptly. Turbocharger Failure Semi trucks commonly use turbochargers to boost engine power and improve fuel-efficiency. However, turbochargers are subject to high stress, leading to wear over time. A failing turbocharger can result in poor engine performance, decreased power, and excessive smoke from the exhaust. Oil Leaks Oil leaks are a common problem for semi truck engines, especially as they age. Leaks can occur due to worn seals, gaskets, or damaged oil pans. Left untreated, oil leaks can lead to low oil levels, causing increased friction and overheating, which can severely damage engine components. Fuel Injector Problems Fuel injectors are responsible for delivering the right amount of fuel to the engine. As the miles add up, they can become clogged or fail, leading to inefficient combustion, loss of power, or increased fuel consumption. Faulty fuel injectors can also cause the engine to run rough or misfire. Faulty Sensors Modern semi trucks are equipped with various sensors to monitor engine performance and emissions. Faulty sensors, such as oxygen or mass airflow sensors, can send incorrect data to the engine control module, resulting in poor engine performance.

Our local diesel mechanics are experts at identifying and fixing semi truck engine issues. We also offer 24/7 heavy duty towing in greater Hagerstown!

5 Common Semi Truck Electrical System Issues

by Blue Gray Towing • 01 Sept, 2024

The electrical system in a semi truck is crucial for powering everything from the engine to the lighting system. When electrical issues arise, they can lead to breakdowns and delays, making it important to address them at the first sign of trouble. At Blue Gray Towing, we provide expert semi truck electrical system repair in the greater Hagerstown area. Here are five common electrical problems in semi trucks. Dead Battery A dead battery is one of the most frequent electrical problems in semi trucks. Causes can range from leaving lights on overnight to a failing alternator that isn’t charging the battery properly. Regular battery maintenance and testing can help prevent this issue. Faulty Alternator The alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering electrical systems while the engine is running. When the alternator fails, the battery may not receive enough charge, causing the truck to lose power. Symptoms of a failing alternator include dimming lights, warning indicators, and electrical system malfunctions. Corroded Wiring As the miles add up, wiring in semi trucks can corrode. Corroded wires can cause a wide range of issues, from minor malfunctions to complete electrical failures. Regularly inspecting and cleaning the truck's wiring can help prevent this problem. Blown Fuses Fuses are designed to protect the electrical system from overloading. However, when fuses blow, it can result in the failure of certain electrical components, such as lights, radios, or climate control systems. Replacing blown fuses is often a quick fix, but persistent issues may indicate underlying electrical problems. Malfunctioning Starter If the starter is malfunctioning, the truck may struggle to start or fail to start altogether. This could be caused by worn-out components in the starter motor or issues with the electrical connections.

My battery had died, and as a AAA provider, Blue Gray arrived promptly in far less than the maximum time quoted. The driver was very nice, polite, professional, and efficient. He got my car started, but then also offered to check the battery. The checking revealed it needed replacing, so he also did that, since he had an appropriate one on the truck. I was extremely pleased with the service.

I have used them twice now and they do not disappoint. The driver was extremely friendly and helpful and knew how to do his job. He had the car loaded within minutes. I will continue to come back for the friendly service.

We broke down on the interstate 8 hours from home. Their dispatcher was helpful to find our location and get us timely service. The tow driver was friendly and knowledgeable of area garages. He was able to get us to a place that could help us on a Sunday morning.
